It is essential that you keep Dispatch updated with your availability. Once you have been dispatched to a show, we will list you as working and, therefore, unavailable. When you are finished working, remember to inform Dispatch that you are available again. 6. When calling Dispatch about your availability, remember that dispatchers are busy and will have other calls waiting. Please keep your calls short and to the point. The dispatcher just needs to know your first and last names, your department, your phone number, and whether or not you are available for work. Please limit your conversations with Dispatch to provide this basic information and speak clearly, especially when leaving messages. 7. If you go out of town, or are unavailable for work, please inform Dispatch. Dispatchers are unable to track down people who are not available or who are currently working elsewhere. 8.
